Apparently we weren't ready to
leave.
Our first day back the tender engine stopped working on our
first day
out in the anchorage.
So we are still in Quintana Roo state and
Caroline feels like a giant. Murray can see over toilet doors
designed for much shorter men (not that he wants to). Mayan
ruins
abound here in Qunitana Roo and the neighbouring state of
Yucatan.
Cancun is the most touristy place with a shopping plaza just for
Mexican products, white embroidered dresses, tequila, papier
mache
donkeys, sombreros and so on. Think of a cliché Mexican image
and
you will find the stuff here. Cocktail was filmed here, bars,
seafood
and steak houses lie alongside multi storey hotels and designer
malls. Cultural activities may be hard to find here but while
the
Cancun Maya museum is small it has some stunning pieces. Like
many
places the temples and ancient cities here have had more fragile
pieces moved to the museums.

Rather bizarrely the museum has a
complete sabre tooth tiger skeleton.
